Had a very small window of opportunity to get to the gym yesterday, so I walked in to the Y in regular clothes and crocs and went straight to the bench and started warming up.
Today I would hit 220#. Last week's brush with 225# I knew I had it.
My back was a bit tight from Wednesday's dead lifts, but it didn't prevent me from bench pressing.
I made sure my position was good, digging in my heels, arching my back, pressing my shoulders into the bench.
Worked up to singles at 185# and 195# then put 220#. Asked a stranger to spot me and then I went for it.
Good lift. Fought it a bit. But came up just a bit, but it was good. 225# here I come.
